Bradley Wright-Phillips fired a 71st-minute winner as New York Red Bulls beat 10-man Dallas in Texas tonight.
The hosts got off to a dreadful start to the encounter as Je-Vaughn Watson was issued with a straight red card for a challenge on Tim Cahill after just 10 minutes.
New York struggled to capitalise on their numerical advantage and could have gone behind early in the second half after Cahill conceded a penalty by fouling Danny Garcia.
However, goalkeeper Joel Robles spared the Red Bulls' blushes by saving Blas Perez's spot kick.
It proved a decisive moment as former Charlton Athletic striker Wright-Phillips fired the visitors ahead with 20 minutes remaining, latching on to a Thierry Henry pass to slot home.
Wright-Phillips' strike proved to be enough for New York to claim all three points and secure their third win of the season in the process.
